I'm not sure what Fleisher was planning using them here in Warlord. Maybe he felt standard fantasy had been mined a bit by the series and he needed a more superheroic threat? Even reading the issues it seems a bit misplaced, but I guess if Warlord had to be connected to the DCU proper (and it seems DC felt like it had to) the New Gods weren't a bad option, I guess.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-74343728196697242622013-04-03T07:20:57.004-04:002013-04-03T07:20:57.004-04:00You know.

So guess in that respect they were doing a good job with his character. <br />Course it also wasn't until I was older that I thought Darksied was a real threat. Could not get past the odd spellings of the names and their weird tech.<br /><br />I know the New Gods were the flavor of the time, but Warlord always seemed more removed from the rest of the DC comics so their "intrusion" here seemed forced.<br /><br />Maybe if I was reading them all in context instead of I did it, all seperate and years apart, it might have felt more natural.Timothy S.
